Book Description

December 18, 2008
Azia Elliston isn t your typical money hungry chick. Hailing from the streets of Philadelphia PA, the city of brotherly love, with no assistance from her parents or the system to help further her education, she decides to see just how much love she can get from brothers, financially that is. Using her god-given assets- beauty, brains, and booty, to her advantage, how could she go wrong she thought. She believed her side hustle to pay her way through college was harmless... Until she meets Rashaud Carter, the streets most deadliest hustler. Allowing greed to overpower her common sense, she soon gets caught up in a situation only few live long enough to talk about. Because of envy, Azia finds herself involved in a treacherous game. Everywhere she turns there is one back stabber after the other, trying to claw their way to the top. Old beefs become new ones, and friends become foes, as tension pollutes the air. Choices are made. Love or Loyalty- Death or Dishonor. The heat is on as sex, lies, murder, and betrayal, form a back stabbing circle leaving one ultimatum at hand... Kill or be killed!

5.0 out of 5 stars A few of your buddies they sure look shady..., December 26, 2008

This review is from: Back Stabbers (Paperback)
Azia Elliston can't help that she's a fine young woman of color who aspires to get an education. But she also needs to pay for that education, and what better way to do that than to use what she was blessed with...a sensuous body and skills to match!

Azia doesn't really worry that her name is spread like butter around the way...because guess what; she knows exactly what she's doing and can play the game better than most. While the men who get swayed by her know her reputation, they still have to test her goods, some of them actually falling for this girl with the triple threat S.S.S...sexy, smart and street.

The one thing Azia was naïve about was who she held closest to her. Jealousy is a bitch, and when that card is chosen Azia gets caught up in the aftermath of murder, deceit and lies.
The saying says, keep your enemies close...but does she even know who her enemies are?

A tale of getting in deeper, and the lifeline out of the situation may or may not turn against you...do you take the chance?

I really enjoyed this story and the character Azia. I liked how this author crafted a story within a story. I am looking to see how author Nyema brings it full circle in the follow up to Backstabbers.

3.0 out of 5 stars I Ain't Sayin' She a Gold Digger...., December 22, 2008
This review is from: Back Stabbers (Paperback)
Meet 21-year-old Azia Elliston. Now, "I ain't sayin' she a gold digger, but she ain't messin' with no broke n*%$@." She's sleeping her way through college at Temple University and always on the lookout for a "sponsor" to take care of her financially, even paying her way through college. She has the body of a model, brains and the sexual attitude of a man. Azia has the reputation in the hood of South Philly of being an around the way girl, who has no problem swapping sex for money. Her motto is "use what you got to get what you want."

Mix in the fact that Azia has a man, Rashaud. He cheats on her, she cheats on him. He is abusive and she takes it because deep down inside she really loves Rashaud. She would do anything to prove her love to him, even be a pawn in setting up the dope boys.

When she meets Mike, a drug dealer that has the city on lock, she begins to fall for him. Unaware that Azia knows him, Rashaud points out Mike as one of the men he wants her to set up. She tries to get the focus off of Mike and volunteers to set up someone else, anyone else. When a set up goes terribly wrong, Azia realizes that she is in over her head and that dealing with Rashaud and his schemes may just get her killed. Will she be able to trust anyone? Will she be able to break away from Rashaud before it's too late? Or will she end up dead or in jail?

This was my first read by author Nyema. Although I thought it had the elements of a great story, I thought it was a little slow. There is a story within a story that really had nothing to do with the actual story, meaning the part about Gisele. That part didn't tie into the story at all. Actually it took away from everything else that was happening in the book. Trust me when I say there was enough going on in the book from the drama, murder and back stabbing. The part about Gisele could have easily been left out and I would have gladly given a higher rating.
